C., < April lltli, 18S7.J Editor Aiken Recorder: As I have not written to you in a 1 >ng time, owing to a dearth of news, I think a short sketch of the progress the Methodist Church has made here in the last two years, under its present pastor, the Rev. W. H. Wroten, will prove interesting to some of your readers. Mr. Wroten, on his arrival here, found that his church was going down and he accordingly set to work to im prove affairs, and by his thrift and energy he has succeeded beyond his expectations. He has now four hun dred and eighty members, oxer two hundred new ones being added and many old meniners restored to the church. Also lie has married 25 couples, buried 40 persons, baptized ICO, preached 280 sermons, painted and improved tlie church building, raised $3,300 for church work, besides attending and filling the pulpits at Vaueluse and Langley once a month. His mission at Vaueluse has built a new church and their membership lias increased to one hundred. A great deal more could be said in behalf of tliis good man’s ministration, but let this brief synopsis suffice, as sucli men are known by their deeds and their works follow after them. May he Jive long to labor in the vineyard of the Lord. Alvin Etheridge left here on last Saturday for Worcester, Mass., to visit his family there. Miss Lula Evans, of Orangeburg county, is visiting at Rev. W. H. Wroten’s residence. Wm. Jennings, of Dawson, Ga., Is makingu pleasant stay at his brother’s, Thomas Jennings. More robberies and houses have been burglariously entered here. The South Carolina Railway depot was broken open on last Monday night and all the small change taken; aud a few nights before this happened Jan. Ergle’s store was entered and some groceries stolen. It Is extremely for tunate that lliMr losses were not greater. The youngest daughter of John Stiefel, little \ Saved His Life. ^Mr. D. I.
